Eight Estonian electronics companies and organisations will present their development and manufacturing services at electronica 2026 in Munich this week, as industrial customers increasingly look for partners who solve technical problems before production begins.
The companies exhibit under the Enterprise Estonia at the Trade Estonia stand in Hall A2, Stand 313, at the fair (10–13 November).
“Estonia has closely connected engineering expertise with industrial manufacturing, and that is especially clear in the electronics sector. For manufacturers, it is becoming increasingly important not to treat development, testing and production as separate steps, but to bring in specialized partners early on,” said Leana Kammertöns, Business Development Manager at Enterprise Estonia. “Germany is one of our most important trading partners, and that closeness is exactly what we want to deepen further at electronica.”
What Estonia brings to electronica 2026
Incap illustrates how that division of labour is shifting. The electronics manufacturer runs a plant in Kuressaare that has produced electronics for Bolt e-scooters and camera electronics for a robotic arm used in NASA’s Artemis programme. In February 2026, Incap acquired the German electronics specialist Lacon, bringing three sites in Germany and engineering expertise into the group. That allows Incap to support customers from the development stage onward and draw on manufacturing capacity across its European network.
Brandner Electronics manufactures circuit boards with up to 24 layers in Paide. Depending on design and order volume, express production takes 24 to 72 hours, plus shipping. For developers of industrial controls, sensors or medical devices, which counts most for prototypes and small batches: new designs can be verified in hardware within a short time.
Wireless systems need more than a fast prototype
With wireless systems, antenna technology, electronics, software and mechanical design all influence one another. Rantelon combines RF development, embedded software, mechanical engineering, testing and manufacturing in Tallinn. Since September 2026, the company has worked with partners on an interference-resistant communication system for drones. Ensuring signal quality within limited space and power budgets also applies to industrial radio communication.
Artec Design, also based in Tallinn, covers electronics, mechanical, FPGA and software development through to manufacturing, and is increasingly turning to edge AI to lower the power consumption of devices, a topic gaining weight in mechanical engineering as well.
Testability begins before series production
Whether a design can be manufactured economically also depends on its testing and documentation options. NOTE Pärnu produces electronics for endoscopes and medical gas supply systems. Flying-probe tests allow electrical testing of changing circuit-board designs without a dedicated test adapter for each one, while laser marking supports the traceability of assemblies. Such methods are particularly relevant where there is high product variance and low volumes.
Reliability often starts with the component itself: Audes in Jõhvi manufactures custom transformers, chokes and coils for power and industrial electronics, from development consulting through to series production. At its Tallinn site, Aurightec combines PCB assembly, testing and full device integration for industrial controls, automotive electronics and mission-critical communication. With additional production sites in Asia, the company can spread manufacturing across several regions; for European customers, coordination, quality assurance and lead times count alongside unit prices.
The exhibitors are backed by the Estonian Electronics Industries Association, which represents more than 70 Estonian companies across the value chain from development and manufacturing to training and recycling.
